I still play MMOs mainly, but got good in PvP and scam instead of getting scammed.

I don't think most Cred Forums posters were that different in 2014.

>What do you mean Zombie Panic is dead?

>wow, these games are all gay and boring

13 year old me is pretty smart.

13 year old me hated isometric cRPGS and now they are my favourite genre. He'd probably call me a faggot.

He'd probably be happy that I still love Pokemon, possibly even a hundred times more now than then.

Honestly, My 13 year old self would be absolutely blown away by the graphics we have nowadays. There was a time when I thought they couldn't possibly get any better than MGS or FFVII. Even the cinematic FMVs in FFVII look like ass compared to games running in real-time now.

youtu.be/KMy1zO8m8sM?t=20

13 year old me would call me a god for getting out of that shithole.
Also cause I still play ace combat.

I still look at PS2 games and think holy shit, what a time to be alive. I honestly don't understand anyone getting salty about graphics in this day and age, critique the art direction sure, but complaining their aren't enough triangles in a hand or some shit? I can't fathom it.

>What do you mean you haven't finished them all?

we finished far less games in the 90s because of how hard they were

I finished every Megadrive game I owned, bar Revenge of Shinobi. My friend claimed he beat it as a kid a few years back and I called bullshit, so he sat me down and I watched him blow through it without breaking a sweat. Impressive.

I think it comes down to a generational thing. People who grew up with the Megadrive, Snes, PlayStation, etc, likely have a better appreciation of graphics nowadays. Kids nowadays whos first console was a 360 or PS3 have never rwally seen dramatic improvements in graphics, so to them everything looks pretty much the same as it always has.

>I honestly don't understand anyone getting salty about graphics in this day and age

Kids.

Exactly what I think of them now.
I'm a virgin neckbeard who failed to mentally develop beyond 12.

>What do you mean "no new Soldier Of Fortune"?

>HOLY SHIT CAN WE PLAY THE NEW SMASH BROTHERS

>Forget these games. How'd you get so fat?

>Sonic in Smash
>Cloud in Smash
>Ryu in Smash
>Megaman in Smash

>WHY IS THIS SO SLOW

>1999 was 30 years ago
He's just be amazed I'm still alive I think.

>SM64 with yoshi, wario, luigi

>user why did you become so bald?

>Let's go to the arcade!
>o...oh
>Why is your Playstation shelf full of anime girl games
>You STILL too shit at Starcraft to finish the campaign? But you've been playing for 15 years!

its been fun

>user, why did you become so pig-like in appearance?

13 year old me thought Sonic Adventure was a good game.

I have no use for that little moron's opinions.

>What are all these stupid chinese history games? This looks gay!
>HOLY SHIT LOOK AT ALL THE GUYS GOING FLYING
>THIS SOUNDTRACK IS ROCKIN'

>Oh you're still playing suikoden 2. What else do you play? These are all games I've already played.

>we finished far less games in the 90s because of how few games mom bought
FIFY
Unless you were some rich kid

>Hey user, how come you don't have any new games?

I'm gonna guess something like
>Wow, all this stuff looks so good it's incredible. And you can play with friends even when not together?
>This is all so cool! I can't believe there's already a Playstation FOUR! Or that there's already a Final Fantasy FIFTEEN!
>Hey, me, what're you foing?
>Get off me you asshole, I'm trying to play!
>Wh-what? No! What're you doing!
>Please! Stop! Why are you doing this?!
>[mixture of screaming and sobbing]
>[gently fades into whimpering]
>[retching and sputtering sobs as I pull my dick out and finish on his face]

Yeah, that sounds about right.

>Oh cool you're still playing Street Fighter! And you can play against anyone in the world now?
>Wait, you have to pay money to buy the story mode now?
>What's a "DLC"?

Followed by sharp disillusionment.

...

Story mode is free you fucking poser

>holy shit you finally got Majora's Mask? Do you mind if I play?

>Woah, a xbox 360?! How did you come up with the money?! Oh.. Helery gave it to you for christmas 2 years ago? That's cool. When was the last time she came over?

>You're still playing Mabinogi? Wow, did it get better? It's shit? Well, it was one of the first MMOs we played, so I'm not surprised you're still playing it... Any of our old buddies still playing? Oh, everyone's offline..

>2016
>Mabinogi

Holy shit man.

>Why do a lot of these games have little girls on the cover?
>Why do you have 300 PC games but never play them?
>What do you mean "Maplestory is dead"?

> What, what happened? Why don't you like videogames anymore??? What the fuck, why do you give me such a shitty future!!! Now you just sit there and don't enjoy ANYthing, why??

>Yo 24 year old me, let's play co-op crystal chronicles so we can actually fucking finish it and not nope out halfway through like friends always do

one can dream

>What do you mean there is no smash bros for the ps2?
>What do you mean there are no other megaman games for the SNES?
>Let's replay Earthbound and Chrono Trigger user

>Brawl? That game looks soo good, we need to play it later
>Did you found those old PC games we used to play?
>So user, did you got yourself a girlfriend like we promised to ourselves?
I was a dumb kid

She would be stunned by my terrible backlog of 3ds games to play and would definitely hate metal gear solid 5 and touhou (too difficult i think, maybe idk)

>She

>Wow you're really good at rhythm games now
Damn right kid

Fuck you me

L-London?!

i can probably imagine
>roommate's friend comes over and brings her kids
>one of them is 10 or something and is obsessed with undertale and is fascinated with my console assortment and my anime wall scrolls
he calls me "god" now

At least you can probably grow a badass beard

POST FEET

>oh my god the gwaphics

>holy crap, a DBZ game with CAC?
>Pokemon battles are just straight up Stadium fights fight? amazing
>They made a new Drakengard?!?!
>fuck my ass, Guilty Gear looks so good now

Horizontal one should be rotated 180 degrees so their heads are in the same place

>What do you mean you still are a kissless virgin?

>"Did things ever get better?"
>"No."
>"Shit."
>"Yeah."
In terms of games my taste is way more diverse now but I generally think what I liked when I was 13 I still like.

It's not a case of "this is not good enough", it's a case of getting promised better graphics than what you get that makes people upset.

Shit, this isn't a new thing. "Bullshot" was coined over ten years ago FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE:
Devs lie. Right in front of your eyes.
To your eyes.
With their graphics.

>Well, user, I did it like I told ya I could.
>You know what that means...
>*Commences dick sucking*

>Wtf is this?
>Lol is this game turn based
>This game is too slow

>Wow these games are cool, why didn't you finish them?
>How did you get so much money for all these games?
>Did you play HL3 yet?

>playing street fighter
>ever

>He played MK in the arcade instead of SF2!

Tekken mostly actually. MK on xbox/ps2.

SF is worst fighting game series.

>tekken now
literally shit taste

It's a good game, it just lost itself. for 8 years.

It's been getting back to its celtic roots lately, though. Did a dungeon revamp too.

>He was playing Tekken in 1991

Wow, where did you get your time machine friend?

>because of how hard they were
Speak for yourself.

I was 2 in 1991

Did people actually go to arcades? What is this the 80s? Are you people like 40 year olds?

I'm under 40 and I spent a shit ton of time in arcades. Are you twelve?

You must be 18 or older to post on this site.

At least I finished games back then, no matter how shit they were. Now even the best games can bore me if I don't power through the first hour of hand-holding.

>What is this game? Demon's Souls with werewolves and guns?
>There's a new Doom?

Arcades aren't even an actual thing anymore, there's like a few game machines in the theater lobby before you watch your movie.

I played Hydrothunder the like like five times I went to go see a movie.

>tfw you've seen more movies in the past year than you saw the entirety of your childhood
Having an agoraphobic mother sucks.

Are you fucking serious? I went to the arcade last week you shut-in

>man this new vegas game looks fucking gay
>anyways is our penis over 3 inches yet

>Arcades aren't even an actual thing anymore
>anymore
So you're underage AND illiterate

13 year old me really wouldn't think anything was different. I mean not much has happened in six years other than like Halo going to shit, but finally coming out on PC again after like 12 years. And the new Doom is fun.

He'd probably be surprised I stopped playing TF2.

Didn't you have a Betamax?

OH MAN THERE ARE SO MANY HALOS NOW
Why are you crying?

What do you mean I don't believe I don't believe in god?
I talk to him every day
What do you mean I can't get to work on time?
I got nothing better to do
What do you mean I don't support your system?
I go to court when I have to
What do you mean I don't pay my bills?
Why do you think I'm broke huh?

Is that the weird car stereo or the weird VHS player?

>millennial talks about videogames once again

kek

>...really? You play as Snake's clone dad but it's not really his clone dad and he's voiced by the guy from 24?

It's biotech.

>meet 13 year old me
>not just fucking until one of us dies

>wtf why all your games are about space marines and anime girls
>where are the cartoon mascot platformers

13yo me would be very disappointed

would that be pedophillia or just masturbation?

13 year old me would probably be wondering why I married Leah instead of Haley in Stardew Valley. Because I had shit taste back then.

>mfw everyone shit on Knack for being "PS1 garbage"
>It was actually really fucking fun
>We'll never get a sequel now

>never watched 24 before playing TPP
>now I can pretend that I'm watching the adventures of Venom Snake

It's great.

I dont have THAT many games.
I finish my games.
-
>fightning games
>not being top 1%
-

>Wow 3D Sonic!
>.....Huh. Never mind.

I've never watched it or anything else with him either. I should try this.

>you still masturbate to Pokemon?
>cool!

>people born in 1998 are 18 now

What was the 90s like Cred Forums? Were video games better then? All I've played recently with only a few exceptions are first person shooter games.

I want interesting games that are actually different to play.

>What's World of Warcraft? You have to pay a sub every month just to play it? Why would you do that? What do you mean I should never ever start playing this game?

Bauer is more like Rorschach than Snake but it's a fun show.

Kiefer's been in a ton of good films, you should check them out.

Well, my 13 year old self had largely the same taste in games that I do now, with the small caveat of not being as big into competitive play. Additionally, I was 13 in 05- late 06, so since graphics have basically stagnated in terms of technical improvement, 13 me would be fairly unimpressed like he was with the 360's offerings at its launch since his frame of reference for graphical improvement would be the leap from N64/PS1 to GCN/Xbox/PS2.

If anything, he'd consider my collection acceptable, if slightly underwhelming compared to his expectations for eleven years of time to expand said collection.

He'd also be upset that platformers have generally died, but not surprised considering the trend games were heading towards during gen 6.

Needless to say, it'd be like talking to a bit more jaded version of myself as I currently am.

>wait there are 3 xboxs
>and the third one is called one?
>and you still play Halo 2 on it?
He would be very confused.

I've never played it but seeing videos it looks like a really really really barebones beat em up.

>Did they finally make sonic adventure 3?
>wow sonic, pacman, megaman and mario on the same game and it's legit.
>what happened to mario? Why did they stopped innovating with the worlds and made it all boring and squared?
>so it has actually gotten WORSE huh? I thought super paper mario was gonna be their all time low
>what is this big headed soldiers metroid wanna be? What happened to metroid prime? Still no metroid prime after all this time. Amazing
>why don't you have the new ps4 or wii u? Woah you actually went all out on a computer like I always dreamed of
>so you actually got tf2? I just liked the few meet the team videos. Did they finally show pyro's face or his meet the team video?

>What's the latest Sega console?
>Wait, what?
To be fair, 13 year old me would love the Dreamcast. Present me still loves it.

>user why do you play the same games I play
>user why did you lose half of the games I had
>user why do you have co-op games and only one controller?
>user where is your SEGA Genesis?
>user do people still remember me on that counter-strike server?
>user why none of the games I've played got a sequel?
>user why do you keep playing that game on the same map over and over again?

13 year old me would be blown away by 2016 graphics and would be unable to comprehend why people today are griping about games feeling cinematic

>Automatize.gif

Why are you still playing the exact same library of PS2 games that I own now?

>Wow user, you built such a cool computer to play map painting strategy games and anime porn books

>tfw 23yo
>13yo in 2006

"I don't see Versus XIII. Why haven't you bought it yet?"

>So user, did you got yourself a girlfriend like we promised to ourselves?
Reeeeeeeeee

13 year old me knew I would turn out a loser but at least I made an effort until 12 years later I snapped and stopped trying

Ironically I'm still the same sad fat clown except alone in my room all year with no friends left and no job watching TV all day can't even be bothered playing vidya

>Wow, they made Starcraft 2? And Diablo 3? Wow! I bet they're amazing!
>user, why did you turn off the computer? I wanna see them!
>user...why are you crying?

> Wow, you finally sorta got good at DMC3
> You're not playing TF2 anymore?
> You are buying your own games!
> Holy monkey, we can finally run Crysis on maximum settings.
> Wait, wait, why does Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 look so graphically inferior?
> So, buying those consoles was a really bad move, you got yourself back to PC. Why? I thought consoles are a thing that gurnatee stable FPS with good graphics!
> You don't play Guitar Hero anymore? Hey, at least you still got the guitar,
> You--you are not a Sonic fanboy anymore?

13 year-old me had a shitty family pc, and would be excited to have the decent one I do now.

They'd think the same thing I do now because I never dropped my standards.

It's not your fault, it's societies..

This

I would be spending days without much sleep enjoying them rather than criticizing them

What did you say about your computers computing power, thats more than even NASA haves?

Games can have colors and complex graphics too?

>Wow! You finally have a computer that can play TF2 without stuttering? Wait, why are you playing this? It looks like TF2, but it has girls and a gorilla and a cowboy and robots?
>Cloud/Pac-Man/Megaman is in Smash Bros? Awesome! Ew, why is it all Fire Emblem characters? What? You like them now? You even use one?
>Is Maplestory still cool? Does it get any better than the big bang?
>That new pokemon black and white came out... but I didn't buy it because I'm gonna wait for a third version like they always make. I made the smart choice, right?
>Hey, did you ever date any of the girls we like?
